The sum of 5 consecutive even integers is 4 less than the sum of the first 8 consecutive odd counting numbers. What is the small

The smallest of the even integers is 8.

It is a well-known fact that the sum of the first n odd numbers is n^2. This makes the sum of the first 8 odd numbers equal to 64.

Let n be equal to the smallest of the 5 even integers. Then (n+2) is the next highest, (n+4) even higher, and so on.

This sets up the equation n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)+(n+8)+4=64

Now we solve:

5n+24 = 64

5n = 40

n = 8

The smallest of the even integers is 8.

Let h(x)=20e^kx where k ɛ R (Picture attached. Thank you so much!)
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

A)

k=0

B)

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2k + 1& = 2\ln 20 + 1 \\ &\approx 2.3863\end{aligned}

C)

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}

A)

Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find <em>k</em>.

h(1) = 20 means that <em>h</em>(x) = 20 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}

Simplify:

1= e^k

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

k=0

B)

Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2<em>k</em> + 1.

Likewise, this means that <em>h</em>(x) = 40 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}

Simplify:

\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}

We can take the natural log of both sides:

\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

\displaystyle k = \ln 2

Therefore:

2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863

C)

Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find <em>k</em> - 3.

Again, this meas that <em>h</em>(x) = 10 when <em>x</em> = 1. Substitute:

\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}

Simplfy:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k

Take the natural log of both sides:

\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e

Therefore:

\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}

Therefore:

\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931

Which equations may be used to determine the 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 127?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll explain by giving an example.

Let’s say that: a=3;b=4;c=5; => they all are consecutive -> their sum is 12.

=> if we use a) n=3 => 3*n+3=3*3+3=12 => correct.

b) n+(n+1)+(n+2)= 3+4+5=12=> correct.

c)n+2n+3n=3+6+9=18=>incorrect.

d)3n=3*3=9=>incorrect.

Find the slope and write an equation with these to points (0,-2) (3,1)<br><br> plz explain
tatiyna

Hello There!

Slope: 1

Equation: y = x - 2

Let's start by finding the slope. To find the slope of a given equation, subtract the y values over the x values.

y1 - y2 / x1 - x2 ⇒ 3 - 0 / 1 - - 2 ⇒ 3 / 3 ⇒ 1

This means we have a slope value of 1.

Now, to find an equation. We will find the equation in slope intercept form, or y = mx + b. (In this case, m = the slope and b = the y-intercept, and x and y equal your x and y values fro a given point.)

To get the equation, we need to find the value of b, or the y intercept. To do this, we need to plug in the values we know into the equation.

we know m is the slope, and we know the slope is one so we can place that into the equation. We also know the points (0,-2) (3,1). We can place one of them into the equation for the values x and y.

1 = 1(3) + b

Now, simplify.

1 = 1(3) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

So, our y intercept is -2, we can plug that into the equation, making our final equation y = x - 2. We don't need to put y = 1x for the slope since multiplying something by 1 is doesn't change the number.

I hope this helps! I know my explanation might have been kind of confusing so if you need more help let me know in the comments !
